  • Speaking Engagement Framework for Awareness (only AgGateway specific presentations):

    • Plan to start a wiki page where people can log their speaking engagements which Susan can check before that meeting

  • New business:
    • Jim - we need to cleanup and align ADAPT source code with ...
      • Versioning needs to be established - highly confusing
      • Jim Wilson to schedule an ADAPT technical team call to resolve this - Jim touched base with several people on this
    • Need to be mindful of ADAPT being perceived as a standard rather than a toolkit (by Europeans) - any ADAPT talking points need to be clear on this.
    • Need to be able to communicate about ADAPT to a less technical audience about how ADAPT makes their world better
    • Jim is working on ADAPT videos and will finish soon. Need to be shortened in length.
    • Should we do a press release on PAIL following the Irrigation Professional article?
